Oval Invincibles Stats

As this is the first match we will be looking at the players for the stats.

The Invincibles have built a good squad for the Hundred. They have a good mix of experienced players with a couple of interesting players to watch.
They have some well-known international players with Jason Roy as arguably the biggest name on their books.
All-rounders come in the form of bothers Sam and Tom Curran who are both excellent experienced T20 players.
Our player to watch from this team is Will Jacks. He has been in very good form in the T20 Blast and the County Championship.
Saqib Mahmood could have a good tournament if he keeps up his current form. He joined the England ODI squad as a reserve and performed over and above expectations against Pakistan. He will be looking to build on that form here.
Their overseas players are Sunil Narine and Sandeep Lamichhane

Manchester Originals Stats

As this is the first match we will be looking at the players for the stats.

Manchester Originals will play their home matches at Old Trafford.

Manchester Originals overseas players are lead by New Zealand star Colin Munro. Carlos Braithwaite also looks like an excellent acquisition for the Hundred team.
Experience comes in the form of bowler Steve Finn.
